Removal of dead animals

The council will remove dead animals (other than rodents or common birds) from the road or pavement.

If you collide with an animal with your motor vehicle, you should stop (if safe to do so) to check on the welfare of the animal. You must report to the police any accident involving an animal (horse, mule, sheep, pig, bull, goat or dog) not being carried on the vehicle.

Removal of dead animals from private property

Small dead animals and birds can be disposed of in the green wheelie bin. The Council will not remove family pets from private property and alternative arrangements will need to be made, such as with a local vet.
